Tabcorp extends SPP Offer to Wednesday 4 March 2009 and provides alternative Biller Code

Tabcorp Holdings Limited today announced that it would extend the offer period for its Share Purchase Plan (SPP) by three business days to 5pm Wednesday 4 March 2009.

Since yesterday evening, shareholders who wished to use the BPAY facility that had been established to lodge their application have been unable to access the BPAY facility as the prescribed Biller Code ceased to function.

Tabcorp has been advised that the prescribed Biller Code is in the process of being reactivated and may, for some bank customers, be operational by this weekend.

In the meantime, shareholders can access the BPAY facility using an alternative Biller Code, 999953 . This alternative Biller Code will be operational throughout the extended offer period.

Shareholders who have pre-scheduled a BPAY payment for 27 February should review their statements and redirect their payment to the alternative Biller Code.

The extension, and the use of an alternative Biller Code, ensures that all shareholders can benefit from the offer and lodge an application without being disadvantaged by a bank error.

The following dates now apply to the SPP:

Event Date
SPP closes 4 March 2009
Allotment date 13 March 2009
Despatch of holding statements / confirmation advice 16 March 2009
Trading date 16 March 2009
